THIS WP IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO SET ASIDE THE ORDER DATED 15/02/2021 IN APPLICATION OS. 6754- 6885/2020 PASSED BY THE KARNATAKA ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL (ANNEXURE-A) AND CONSEQUENTLY ALLOW THE APPLICATIONS AND ETC.
THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRONOUNCEMENT OF ORDER, THIS DAY, G.NARENDAR J., MADE THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
Heard the learned Senior counsel Sri P S Rajagopal on behalf of the petitioners along with Sri B O Anil Kumar and the learned AAG on behalf of the official respondents No.1 to 4 and the learned Senior counsel Sri M S Bhagwat on behalf of the private respondents No.5 to 8, 10 to 12 and respondents No 14 and 15 and the learned counsel Sri S V Narasimhan for respondent Nos.9 and 13.
2. The 26 petitioners before this Court were amongst the
132 applicants who were before the Tribunal and the respondents No.1 to 7 herein were arrayed in the same order before the Tribunal and the respondents No.8 to 15 got themselves impleaded before the Tribunal. The respondents No.16 to 121 were applicants before the Tribunal and in that view the applicants sail with the petitioners herein.
PLEADINGS ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANTS BEFORE THE TRIBUNAL
3. The brief canvassed before the Tribunal was that the official respondents have determined their seniority list in gross violation of statutory requirement and have prayed that the inter se seniority list dated 19.11.2020, in so far as it concerns respondents No.5 to 7 be quashed and further issue a writ of mandamus and thereby direct the official respondents to redo the seniority list strictly in accordance with the government orders and circulars and in accordance with the C and R Rules.
4. It is the case of the petitioners before the Tribunal, that they were directly recruited to the post of Range Forest Officers (RFO) on various dates. That the applicants 1 to 36 were appointed in 2014, applicants 37 to 76 were appointed in 2014-15, applicants 77 to 114 were appointed in March, 2016 and applicants 115 to 132 were appointed in the year 2017. That, recruitment to the post of RFO is both by way of direct recruitment and promotion from the cadre of Deputy Range Forest Officer (DRFO) and in the ratio of 50:50. That the feeder cadre to the promotional quota in the post of RFO is from amongst the DRFO. That the feeder cadre to the next promotional post of Assistant Conservator of Forest (ACF) is from the post of RFOs. That the recruitment to the post of ACF is in the ratio of 75% by way of promotion and 25% by way of direct recruitment. That the cause for the application is the seniority list/gradation list prepared by the second respondent PCCF (HOFF) for the purpose of granting promotion to eligible RFOs to the post of ACF. That the gradation list is contrary to the Karnataka Forest Department Services (Recruitment) Rules, 2012 which is produced as Annexure ‘A1’ to the petition and the impugned gradation list is produced as Annexure ‘A2’. The method of recruitment to the post of ACF is found at Sl.No.8 of the Rules. The Rules detail that 75% of the posts of ACF shall be filled up by promotion from the cadre of the RFO and the remaining 25% shall be by way of direct recruitment and the qualifications, etc., to be adhered to, are detailed therein. The minimum qualification for recruitment by way of promotion is stipulated in column 4, which reads as under: “ For promotion; must have put in a service of not less than eight years in the cadre of Range Forest Officer. On promotion as Assistant Conservator of Forests they have to undergo promotion linked training for 6 weeks within one year of service, failing which they will not be confirmed as Assistant Conservator of Forests. However, this is subject to nomination to such course.”
5. The case of the applicants is that by following the law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of V. B.
Badami and Others vs. State of Mysore and Others1, the first respondent issued an O.M. dated 05.07.1976. That under the said O.M. guidelines came to be issued thereby mandating the classification of vacancies, method of appointments, etc., That in terms of clause 3(d) it is stipulated that vacancies under the direct recruitment quota and the promotional quota ought to be calculated for the block period with reference to the date of commencement of the C and R Rules
